Well done.
Yet another example of quiet, intelligent and persistent work paying off.
Brilliant and needs blogging and tweeting about.
Can we celebrate it at the Education Conference?

Good news from Wales, forwarded from the OER-Discuss
list. There was also
this follow-up statement: "Higher Education Wales (the Welsh branch of
UniversitesUK) have agreed to a common statement of principles which was
signed by the last of the [university Vice Chancellors] yesterday. It
should appear on their website shortly."

Hi all,
I’m glad to be able to announce the work we have been engaged with in
Wales for the last few months.
Today Wales is able to confirm the commitment of all Welsh Higher
Education institutions to the adoption of Open Educational principles to
support Open Education Resources and Open Education Practice:

As you can imagine getting all the nation’s VCs to commit to this has been
a time consuming, but we hope valuable exercise. Now to deliver on the
promise of this collaberation.
Cheers,
Haydn
